Sofia, with her extensive art history knowledge and connections in the art world. He knew he'd never stand a chance. He couldn't shake the picture of her, winning the job with her winning smile. The gallery suddenly felt like a prison.

He abruptly turned and walked out, the vibrant colors blurring before his eyes.
